At allegiance ceremony, MP mocks his own oath

May 28, 2015

According to the Crown Chronicles:

An MP made a mockery of his oath of allegiance to Her Majesty on Wednesday, when he called for the abolition of Monarchy just seconds before he swore his service to The Queen.

…[Labour MP Richard Burgon] said this prior to his oath:

‘As someone that believes that the head of state should be elected, I make this oath in order to serve my constituents.’

Burgon has since been called a hypocrite for taking the oath if those were his views, having said he was ‘forced’ to swear his allegiance to Her Majesty.
